Anger – Is That All We Are About?

I was just looking around on another blog world I also belong to. I must say, that place is VERY densely populated and yes my blog there gets a lot of hits, but no relationships . . . rarely a comment. It’s good for the ego, if numbers are all that matters, but it does nothing for the soul.

I used to focus on numbers and post there a lot but we are called to be in relationship as well as lead those in darkness into the light. I grew weary of just numbers and nothing more. I found it hard, even though my researching skills are really good, to find any kindred spirits there. So, once in a while I pop over and post something, but not much more. Of course, being a constant blogger is how the game is played, but I am not a game player. It’s my heart not my head that needs to be in charge. My head can get me in trouble, but my heart is where Jesus lives . . . so today after spending time in this amazing WP community, I visited the other one. It’s been a while since I did anything but pop over and do a quick post. Guess what I found?

The topics which dominate – the “hot” ones which we are “supposed” to write to “get notice” as writers? Nothing but anger and negativity. Sorry guys. I can’t live my life that way. I do get occasionally trapped in it but I keep being set free, thank you Jesus. I was thinking . . . I do want to set those in darkness free, or more appropriately stated, I want to be used by Jesus so that He can do that. I do not believe this means I have to be all about negativity and anger though. If it does, I shall forever be a failure . . . I won’t every have a shiny new car, a big fancy house, money in the bank . . . I won’t be in the spotlight, nor the front page of glamorous news journals . . . I will be a failure.

I won’t be alone though. I know another failure. I know Him well. He always had dirty feet . . . He walked everywhere. His only friends, true friends, were failures too . . . smelly fishermen, tax collectors, murderer, women who . . . lepers . . . what a life. He didn’t get away with it, though. He was hauled into court and hung for His efforts.

Oh, thank you so much Debbie! Your words bless me more than you will ever know! It is my heart’s desire to serve Him and love Him and I pray He’ll show me the way to lay aside my worries and do just that!
